The Israeli army killed a Palestinian during a raid in Jericho, in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry announced Wednesday.

The Israeli armed forces confirmed that they had conducted an operation in the area where an American-Israeli motorist was killed on Monday and opened fire on two people who fled after the raid on the Aqabat Jabr refugee camp.

Mahmoud Jamal Hassan Hamdan, 22, succumbed to “severe injuries sustained from Israeli occupation forces’ bullets,” according to a press release from the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry.

He succumbed before being taken to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Hospital, a spokesman for that health facility said.

Israeli soldiers who stormed Aqabat Jabr “arrested four suspects, including the terrorist who carried out the attack” that killed American-Israeli Elan Ganeles, 27, according to the general staff.

The death comes amid a resurgence of violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, especially in the West Bank, territory occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli Six-Day War.

On Sunday, the Palestinian city of Howara was targeted by Israeli settlers, hours after two settler brothers, aged 20 and 22, were shot dead as they drove a car in the northern West Bank.

Dozens of enraged settlers set fire to houses and cars and threw stones during the night.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galand described this action as “intolerable”, stressing that “we cannot allow a situation in which citizens judge themselves”.

Since the beginning of the year, 64 adults and children, members of armed organizations and civilians, have been killed on the Palestinian side. While 13 adults and children, members of the security forces and civilians, as well as a citizen of Ukraine, died on the Israeli side, according to an AFP tally based on official announcements by the Israeli and Palestinian authorities.
